The house has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. It has everything you need. Great for groups. Beautiful scenery, very quiet. The gardens are beautiful. Close to everything in town, yet remote enough to unwind.
The pictures do not do this villa justice. It is absolutely gorgeous. Luca was a very responsive host, and Carmen, the housekeeper, was very helpful throughout our stay. My group was looking for a monthlong getaway in the Tuscan countryside and it's exactly what we got. A car is necessary for getting to and from Borgo San Lorenzo, and the trains to and from Florence do not run late, so be prepared for a rural experience or to do multiday trips to other parts of Italy. I will absolutely book again the next time I find myself wanting to go to Tuscany.
Our month at Villa Montazzi was truly special. Where else would you have a chance to live in a villa once owned by members of the Medici family? We invited family and friends to join us at various times throughout our stay. The villa was huge, with ample room for us to visit or be on our own. The beds were very comfortable, the washer and dishwasher were very much appreciated. The pool was enjoyed even though we were there in September - October. There are plenty of very good restaurants within 3 km, so a car is a must. Borgo San Lorenzo is a lovely town full of friendly people and had everything we needed. The train from BSL was reliable and perfect for going into Florence or up to some of the villages in the mountains. Overall, it was a fun adventure of a lifetime. The only downside was the mosquitos in the evening. Some, but not all, of our guests were very much bothered by them so couldn't sit outside at night. Our host did leave plenty of bug spray etc. and we did learn that it was an unusually buggy year.
Tolle historische Villa im waldreichen Mugello. Sehr gut ausgestattet, bis hin zur KĂŒche, viel Ambiente, GeheimgĂ€nge und ein Turm, wunderbarer Garten. Viel Raum, sogar fĂŒr Hornissen und Stachelscheine.
Perfekter Urlaub
Eravamo un gruppo di 13 persone , ci siamo trovati molto bene. La casa eâ incantevole e molto spaziosa. I ragazzi si sono divertiti in piscina che Ăšâ molto grande. Il giardino eâ grande e curato e anche recintato per chi come noi viaggia con i cani.
Torneremo sicuramente!
Mega Villa die noch den Hauch der Geschichte in sich trĂ€gt, exzellent ausgestattet, riesige RĂ€ume, super KĂŒche, Pool und Garten, und natĂŒrlich der Turm als Highlight.
Der Kontakt zu Luca dem Vermieter funktioniert ausgezeichnet, immer zu erreichen und sehr bemĂŒht in jeglicher Hinsicht!
Eine wirklich atemberaubende Unterkunft: edel, alt, authentisch. WLAN ging nicht immer, soll aber verbessert werden. Sehr viel Platz, wundervoller Garten, mit allem ausgestattet, was man fĂŒr die Freizeit braucht. Die KĂŒche ist sehr groĂ und gerĂ€umig. Toller Pool Billard, toller FlĂŒgel. Alles da, auch mal an einem (seltenen) Regentag. Auch bei groĂer Hitze ist das Haus angenehm gekĂŒhlt. Geheimtipp: Rennstrecke Mugello in Scarperia, und auch Scarperia selbst ist, ebenso wie das nahe gelegene Borgo San Lorenzo, ist bei nĂ€herem Hinsehen eine schöne Perle zum Essen gehen und Kaffee trinken. - Die Gastgeber sind sehr groĂzĂŒgig und zuvorkommend. Absolute Empfehlung!!!
We had a wonderful (second) time at the impressive and gorgeous Villa Montazzi. The house has a beautiful and historical atmosphere, very spacious, privately situated and we spend many lovely evenings (and days) just sitting in the garden and enjoying the pool (very nice for children as well!). It's easy to visit Florence, but there are also very nice smaller villages around to visit and just have a 'cafe' or 'gelato' on a terrace.
Altogether Villa Montazzi is a special and unique place to spend your holiday; we love!
We enjoyed the stay at Villa Montazzi very much, location and the Villa are beautiful. There is absolutely enough space for at least 10 people, the rooms are nice and stylish with antique furniture. Good and friendly support from the owner, for example to find good restaurants in the region.
